Agreed, you need to contact QJ for a solution, this is unacceptable. I do not have this problem, nor should you or anyone with this jack.

Which model do you have, I have the 7000SLX

.

Yeah I have an open ticket with them. I have the 5000SLX.

Update on my QuickJack, with the one safety arm popping off the stop. I contacted Support and they had me take a video of it. Upon closer inspection, the ramps werent moving evenly, so I re-bled both ramps.
Then as I was taking the video, turns out that the Cam on the offending ramp would "disengage" as it was going over the first safety stop - meaning, instead of going over the stop, it would go into the position where it will let the arm slide over the stop. Sometimes it "disengages" cleanly, and sometimes it would kind of snag, hence the POP when it does engage. Mean while, the other ramp safety mechanism works fine, as well as the higher position stop on both ramps.

Support told me that some cams are machined a bit differently, and I have one of those cams. Theyll be sending me a new cam and pin.

I have a video. if anyone is interested ill upload it. Its only about a 10 second video.

Up load it bro I'm choirs to see it

Has anyone else had an issue with the rubber blocks curling the outer and inner metal on the frame rail?

I had raised the QJ past the first set of stops, then began lowering them onto the stops. Keep an eye on the far cam.

You mean at the pinch weld? Yeah it will do that if you dont have the block with the notch in it. I dont, but Im thinking of just cutting a notch on the block to fit the pinch weld.

Bleeding is definitely important with these. I didn't bleed mine properly and the two ramps were going up at a drastically different rate.
I'd recommend for new users to stand straight in front of the car when you lift the first time.
I was on one side the first time I raised mine and didn't realize how much differently they were raising. Could have been real ugly if I hadn't stopped and lowered it back down.
Once I bled the unit properly (i.e. standing up so the air would rise) then it has been golden.

Lol yes that's what I meant. I'm thinking about doing the same... after I mash the metal back together

100%. I've learned the hard way to read every page of the damn manual and just do what it says

80 bucks or something like that for the set for the pinch welds.. yikes!

I have the pinch weld blocks. They are expensive but work perfectly. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Do you stack them on top of the shorter blocks that came with the jack? Just unboxed mine and on their own the lift connects with the Nismo side sills.

I'm considering putting plates on the two long sides, 4 screws per plate, two screws per block

Yes, I do put the pinch weld block on top of various height materials. Here's a couple pictures of how I set mine up.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5e0265cfe8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ac198846e1.jpg

Thank you kindly sir! No issues with the pinch weld blocks pressing on the side sills?

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

No, that is the added height that you need from the other materials. The pinch weld blocks actually do not touch the side sills the way I lift mine. Probably have 3/8 - 1/2" of clearance.

Be VERY careful stacking two tall ones. I used two tall ones and came very close to losing the car off of them.

During the lift or while you were working on it?

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

All of the above. I was putting an exhaust on my Juke and when I went to lower the car, I saw that the blocks were tilting. Immediately went into a case of "what if" cold sweats.

A friend let me borrow his Quickjack when I changed my diff bushings. I used the pinch weld block on top of the short solid block. I didn't like having to stack them and kept an eye on the blocks but it was solid and stable the two days it was up.

My only complaint about the Quickjack is that they are heavy. You need to configure your garage so you don't move them around very much.

Agreed, I was initially very uncomfortable stacking them. Ended up gorilla-taping the pinch weld blocks to the short blocks so I could be sure they were aligned correctly.

My set up is extremely stable. My Z is up on it all winter, for the last couple years. Just did a break job. Love this system!

Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

Does anyone have experience using this system on a plastic tile floor, like RaceDeck?

Considering getting such a floor and wondering whether the relatively small surface area of the quickjack would deform the tiles. Thought ab getting plywood to put under the quickjack but I measured it and I couldnt get the blocks onto the rails if i did plywood.

I have mine on asphalt and its fine. Ive had the Z on it for 2 weeks straight. QJ said it has the same footprint as a normal car on 4 wheels.

Mine is on my garage floor which is smooth flat concrete.

Dammit... here I was looking for a reason not to spend 800 bucks and you just took that reason out behind the barn.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

The footprint of the QJ is fairly large so it should work fine on a racedeck floor. It is really stable too.

Worth every penny!

Do you guys put this away when not in use or does it live on the floor under the car permanently? I have a 1 car garage (which is also our laundry room and my amateur wood shop....it's cramped) and no real place to store something like this unless it can just stay in place....

Dragging my 100+lb low-profile-long-reach jack around and getting the car on stands often becomes a laziness barrier to me working on the car. If I could leave this thing in place all the time I would be a lot more motivated (at least that is the thinking).

Its low enough that I can store it directly under my Nismo.

I back into my garage starting at an angle when I park, so it would scrape my exhaust. I just stand them up against the wall. Theyre freakin heavy so they arent going anywhere just as long as you dont stand them up with the wheels at the bottom.

I have to literally carry each ramp when I move them because my garage is asphalt, so the laziness thing always creeps in when I have to use them, but I think about how much more work it takes to use a floor jack and jack stands and get over the laziness.

Similarly, anyone use this on epoxy floors?
I got mine a few weeks ago and have used it maybe a dozen times already between my cars and my friends'. Everyone loves it.

I plan to get the currently concrete floors epoxied this summer, but am worried how that will hold up to dragging and repositioning the quickjacks.

I imagine you could glue some rubber to the bottom to avoid scratching... or move it around on a piece of cardboard.

My wife just ordered one of these for me (yes she's a good wife, I think I'll keep her). I'm very much looking forward to not dealing with jacks/jack stands/etc!

Did she order the pinch-weld blocks as well? You really do need them.

Thats a good wifey! Congrats!

I doubt it, but no worries, I'll take care of that.

No beatings for at least a week! ;)

For you...or her? kinky!!! :wtf2:

There are beatings, and there are beatings. Some come with safety words, and some come prematurely!
Err...
